Getting Visual

Now or in the very near future, legal briefs and office memoranda will use color, graphics, photographs, embedded videos, active links, depictions, and diagrammatical elements. In other words, the instruments of legal practice will be highly visual.

An attorney or counselor at law can supplement or even replace several pages of narrative or legal reasoning with a graphical visualization of the communication — a photograph, a cartoon, a painting, a model, or another form of visual or graphical rendering — and in so doing, improve the document’s communicative and persuasive potential.
